have to shut down through strike OF the
packers for an increase ofwages from SlO.5O
per week to s. per day. The packers will
meet thi, morning at 10 o'clock to take de
cisiye action one way or the other. Pres
idrnt Scott, oil the Central, said yester-
day.
There are about twenty packers at the
Central and halt - dozen at the Ia Belle,
and it they strike they will throw six hun
bred men aud boys out OF employment
They have our ultimatum-SlO.5D per
week and they can do as they choose
We are not a bit particular, Is no one wants
glass ut this time OF year, and We would as
soon remain closed down for the present
The cutters at the Central say they will
also insist upon IN advance September

MRS. BAKERS LETTERS

to the Jury. They were six in number,
written at various times during the fall OF
1856, containing a great deal of iniOrma-
ton about family affairs and the duties OF
the household. Among other things there
WAS mention of Mrs. McWha's health rs
being matter of special interest to her
husband. She asked him TO spend the
holidays with them, and asserted that she
missed his presence very much. Through
out the letters breathed the air of purest
affection and devotion to her husband;
whatever were Bakers true sentiments
toward the unfortunate woman, there can
be no doubt that she regarded him with
the nobest, hottest love; if he is the
criminal who committed this most brutal
of murders, the contents of those letters
must have scared his very soul, however
sin stained and hardened he may he,

MAGNETS,

The power of attraction which mag
net possesses is called magnetism, from
the name of the ancient city of Magnesia,
in Lydia, (Asia Minor. The fact that a
certain kind OF iron ore, commonly called
lodestone, possesses the power of attracting
iron has been known from very remote
times, but it is only comparatively lately
discovered that other minerals also pos
sess magnetic power, in virtue of which
they are attracted by magnet or lode
stone. Metals, such as bismuth, antimo-
ny, zinc and tin, etc, being repealed by
magnets, are called diamagnetic. Mag
netism, which is mode of motion, as is
all force, lies dormant in every form of
matter, but, unlike electricity, it cannot
be made to manifest itself in all bodies.
In certain substances such as iron and
nickel, magnetism can be excited by an
other magnet, or by that huge magnet
the earth itself. Again, unlike electric
ity, magnetism affords no phenomena di-
rectly addressed to the senses, but is dis
tinguished from electricity by perma-
nency of character when once induced.
A piece of steel can be magnetized by
simply rubbing it with another magnet.
To prove this, rub needle over one OF
the poles of a permanent magnet, when
the needle will become independently
The most powerful magnets
are made by induction, as follows: A
covered wire is coiled around a steel bar
which is to be magnetized, and current
Of electricity is passed through the wire.
Under this process the bar becomes per-
magnetized. Sometimes mag
nets made in this way will sustain twenty
eight to thirty times their own weight.
Having shown some of the laws of mag

AN ALGERIAN WEDDING.

A marriage celebration in Algeria is an
interesting relic of ancient customs. The
bridegroom goes out to bring the bride,
and the guests assembled outside the
house, will wait for his return. Soon the
sound of pipes is heard coming from the
summit: of some neighboring hill, and
the marriage procession approaches the
bridegroom's house. The pipers always
come first in the procession, then the bride
unified up in a veil, riding mule led by
her lover. Then comes bevy of gorgeous
ly dressed damsels sparkling with silver
ornaments, after which the friends of the
bride follow. The procession stops in
front of the bridegroom's house. and the
girls friends line both sides of the path
way. The pipers march off on one side,
while the bridegroom lifts the girl from
the mule and holds her in his arms. The
girl friends thereupon throw earth at
the bridegroom when he hurries forward
and carries her over the threshold of his
house. Those about the door beat him
with branches amid much laughter.
In the evening on such occasions, the
pipers and drummers are called in, and
the women dance, two at time, facing
each other; nor does couple desist until
painting and exhausted, they step aside
to make room for another. The dance
has great energy of movement, though
the steps are small and changes of posi-
ton slight, the dancers only circling
round occasionally. But they swing
their bodies about with an astonishing
energy and suppleness. AS leaves flutter
before the gale, so do they yibrate to the
music; they shake, they shiver and trem-
BILE; they extend quivering arms, wave
wells, and their minds seem lost in the
abandon and frenzy of the dance, while
the other women, looking on, encourage
by their high piercing, trilling cries,
which add to the noise of the pipes and
drums Brooklyn Magazine.

THE INDIANS AND THE Pill
GRIMS.

Henry Austin writes in the Southern
Biuoudc an article on "My Pilgrim
Fathers" in which he treats those dis
tinguished gentlemen with less than the
ordinary courtesy. In one place he says:
In the autumn of 1921 thirty-five more
emigrants were brought by the Fortune,
but no new arms or fresh provisions, so
the settlement languished, and was in
great danger of extinction, for, though
Massasoit helped them all he could, their
forages had provoked the enmity of Can
onicus, the Narragansett king, who sent
them the picturesque Indian challenge
of a rattle-snake skin stuffed with brand
new arrows. Deeming, in their desper-
ate strait, that audacity was the best die
erection, the governor accepted the ar
rows, and filling the skin with powder
and shot, dispatched it back with bold
defiance, likewise. His superstition kim
died by the mysterious stuff sent him,
the Narragansett repented his hostility,
and "not suffering the skin to stay in his
house or country" posted it back to the
willy Pilgrims, who also caused their
friend Squanto to circulate rumor that
they had the pestilence concealed under
their store-house, and could unleash it
on the land if they listed.
Thus another year rolled around in
which chiefly the continual kindness of
Massasoit, though partly perhaps cease
less vigilance on the part of Standish, saw
ed them from paying with their lives the
price of their violent encroachments. Yet
their steely natures could not help strik-
friendly, such continual sparks OF hostil-
ity as must have burst into a consuming
coEhagration but for lucky accident.
By this time, the fall of 1922, the colony
at Wessagusset, which arrived from Eng
land that summer, through their idle
rspacity had come to grief among them
selves and had excited the resentment of
the mild Massachusetts tribe. The Wes-
sagusset colony, according to their own
account, tried to pacity these In iians by
hanging zone Of them that stole the
Indians corn, and yet they Chat is the
Indians) regarded it not"
Poor, stupid Indian intellect, not to
appreciate that one minimum Pilgrim
strung up ought to weigh down a maxi
mum amount of stolen earthly posses
sionsl But so bad continued the con-
duct of the Wessagusset branch, while |
the Plymouth had ceased their depreda-
tons, that the Massachusetts, and other
tribes not feudary to Massasoit determin-
ed to root them out, and urged the Poksn-
oket king to join in their plan of expulsion.
Massasoit craved time TO consider, and he
appears to have felt that the perform
ances Of the Pilgrims had nearly passed
all patience. But just then he fell ex-
ceedingly sick, and news of this reaching
